About this map

Childs Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of Del Norte County, where a complex network of forest roads and spurs provides access to the coastal drainages. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major watercourses, including Wilson Cr and the various branches of Mill Creek, such as E Fork Mill Cr and W Br Mill Cr. These waterways carve through the terrain before reaching the Pacific Ocean, which borders the southwestern edge of the quadrangle.

Forest management and recreation are evident through features like the Red Alder Campground and a dense system of timber-access routes including Smokerhouse Rd and Rock Creek Rd. Notable smaller features like Bummer Lake and its associated Bummer Lake Cr occupy the northern heights. The map records a moment in the early 21st century when the area remained primarily dedicated to resource management and outdoor access, with unique local names like Powderhouse and First Gulch appearing in the topography.
